  1. Chris it's not about tracks. It's about a discussion between members. I don't think civil, civilized discussion can ruin anything including this thread. Iving had lol-ed the album posted by Christopher who makes an effort to familiarize him and possibly some others with music that for some may seem strange and unapproachable, I'd personally appreciate such effort for the sake of making this thread more interesting. This is your thread and your forum though.
  2. Some bird song and ..other animals. Great homage to nature.
  3. Smoke from your neighbors.? ;-) I thought this was a problem typical to the Netherlands..
  4. No, you won't. No-one will. You will also be perfect (at last).. BBC 2 hours ago (we are already quicker on this thread, what will it be like after our chips add some extra speed.?): Neuralink: Elon Musk's brain chip firm wins US approval for human study
  5. @Elon that's for my friend, I can do without, 2 channels please but don't try that with those guys: They can prove immersi.. I mean merciless in such circumstances. Also lots of lossy deblurring in case of Bob Stuart, his mind may be something blurry after recent MQA ltd successes, he may also have some trauma connected with these events that he might want to get rid of..
  6. That's from March, you're not up to date are you sure you don't need a chip.? ;-)
  7. I've been repeating that for decades. Really. Only according to my vision 'Qobuz' will be also under your skull (I hate the idea of streaming). I have almost 20 thousand albums now I guess before the first successful brain chips get connected to Musk's fans storing that (despite the fact that 75% of my music is hi-res) storing something like that inside a 1 square mm space will not be a problem. In addition: How would stream Qobuz on Mars, that doesn't make sense!
  8. Beside that we've gone way further on the other thread - forget about the old school 'audiophile' gear, the future belongs to brain chips. Kind of straight wire with gain, only there is no wire and hardly any gain on electric level.. 🙃
  9. GPT on T + A DAC 200 Preamp: Introduction: The world of high-end audio constantly presents us with new possibilities and technological advancements. However, not every product manages to live up to the lofty expectations set by its peers. In this review, we'll examine the T + A DAC 200 Preamp, a device that falls disappointingly short of the mark. Despite its promising specifications, this preamp fails to deliver the extraordinary audio experience one would expect from a flagship product in this price range. Design and Build Quality: At first glance, the T + A DAC 200 Preamp exudes an aura of sophistication and refinement, showcasing a sleek and modern design. The aluminum chassis, while visually appealing, does not possess the robustness one would anticipate from a high-end offering. The build quality, unfortunately, falls short of its competitors, leaving a lingering doubt about the longevity of this device. Sound Quality: One of the most crucial aspects of any preamp is its ability to faithfully reproduce audio with precision and transparency. Regrettably, the T + A DAC 200 Preamp fails to deliver a captivating sonic experience. Its sound signature lacks the engaging qualities that are synonymous with top-tier preamps, resulting in a somewhat lifeless and uninspiring performance. The tonal balance, while generally neutral, lacks the organic warmth and dynamic punch that enthusiasts crave. The soundstage, while adequately wide, fails to provide the immersive imaging and three-dimensional depth that truly elevates an audio system to another level. Listening sessions with the T + A DAC 200 Preamp left me yearning for a more engaging and emotionally involving experience, as it fails to breathe life into the music. Functionality and Features: The T + A DAC 200 Preamp boasts an extensive list of features, including a built-in DAC and a multitude of connectivity options. While this may be appealing on paper, the implementation of these features leaves much to be desired. The user interface feels cumbersome and unintuitive, detracting from the overall user experience. Furthermore, the absence of certain key features found in competitor products is disappointing, given the premium price tag associated with the DAC 200. Value for Money: When considering the T + A DAC 200 Preamp's hefty price tag, it's difficult to ignore the underwhelming performance and lackluster build quality. This preamp fails to justify its cost when compared to its rivals, which offer superior audio reproduction, refined design, and a more intuitive user experience. Audiophiles seeking a truly transcendent sonic journey will undoubtedly find better options elsewhere, leaving the T + A DAC 200 Preamp struggling to prove its worth. Conclusion: In a crowded market brimming with exceptional offerings, the T + A DAC 200 Preamp fails to distinguish itself. While its sleek design and extensive feature set may initially entice, the lackluster sound quality, subpar build quality, and unintuitive user interface undermine its potential. Audiophiles in search of a truly exceptional preamp would be wise to explore alternative options that offer a more captivating and immersive audio experience, rather than settling for mediocrity. 😎 Now what.?
  10. Elon Musk's brain-implant company Neuralink said the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given the green light to its first-in-human clinical trial, a critical milestone after earlier struggles to gain approval. The FDA nod "represents an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people," Neuralink said in a tweet. It did not elaborate on the aims of the study, saying only that it was not recruiting yet and more details would be available soon. Just add AI to the future brain chip and the race towards being brighter than other ones for the price of the chip will begin! 😎
  11. Errrr... That was supposed to be posted on the AotE. I appreciate no protests from anyone. Jah live! ;-)
  12. Still the best rock concert I've been to was theirs, this clip may give some hints as to why - there was simply kind of electricity in the air (one of their live albums was actually entitled 'Spirit Electricity). Sorry for SQ, the one I've been to sounded great but its TV broadcast also didn't.
